Sister’s Day Tres

Today is the third anniversary of Julia’s homecoming.    We arrived after about 27 hours of travel from Moscow to Zurich to Dallas (where Julia became a citizen when the wheels of the plane touched ground) and finally to San Antonio.

Thanks, Shels, for thinking to have a camera out!  I sure wasn’t thinking.

We’ll celebrate our third  “Sisters Day” soon – doing something fun we all want to do.    Hanging our Russian flag.  Chanting the “loves Julia” mantra  I sung to my baby from our first mother/daughter day together in St. Pete.

And remembering that mixture of exhilaration and exhaustion when we finally had all four of our girls together in one room.

Then: Счастливо для нас!  (Be Happy for Us!)

Right Now:  My eldest and youngest are sitting next to me right this instant, thinking I don’t notice the computer game they’re playing isn’t “educational.”

Tonight at dinner, Rachel shared a variety of jokes/puzzlers  overheard at her after-school childcare job including,  “The orphan was on one side of the road, and her parents on the other.  How did she get across?”  Answer:  “She didn’t.  If she had parents, she’s not an orphan.”

Precisely, Rachel.  Precisely.

    She was such a little peanut! Everyone loks so tentatively happy in the first photo. No, they look ready for both hearty hugs and raging quarrels. (Okay, not in the sweet picture you posted after…just in pictures in general.) Sisters!

    Happy three years.

  • john T:

    happy anniversary to Julia, I know you have a wonderful family and special parents. I hope to meet you and your sisters one day. I know you are loved and that God loves you more than you could ever imagine.

  • sharon:

    I’m still exhausted for you ;-)

  • votemom:

    thanks for sharing the clip so we can hear that sweet little voice again with the heavy russian accent. LOVE IT!!

    happy 3 yrs to all of you. i’m thankful that you share your life with us out here in cyberspace – it’s a blessing!

  • Shels:

    What a blessing you guys have been for her and she has been for you. It was a long, hard road but soooo worth it!

  • Lois:

    Guess What? I can get on your blog from school, madre.

    Happy sisters (late) sisters day!

  • To The Woodworth Sisters:
    Congratulations!! How lucky can you get to have three sisters. I believe that sisters are a gift from God and he knew ezxactly what we needed. I had the privilege of having two sisters. One has gone on to be with the Lord and my younger sister lives in Alabama. We are planning our sister vacation for the first of September. A long weekend of just us!! We will probably go to the coast. We have more fun laughing and talking. I didn’t realize how special sisters would be when I was much younger but I do now.
    May your relationships always be close no matter who is mad at who; and may you enjoy what you have in each other now and always.
    Love, Mrs. Reby
